DPP: Social workers "smeared poison" to save the election. Jiang Wanan has time to appear on variety shows but no time to apologize?

Democratic Progressive Party spokesperson Lin Chu-yin questioned today that KMT legislator and Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's campaign spokesperson Li Yanxiu ignorantly attacked social workers for "distributing poison to people who take drugs," triggering social work groups to demand an apology. In the past, Chiang Wanan could apologize several times for a piece of sugar cane, but now he and Li Yanxiu refuse to admit their mistakes. They have time to show off their rhetoric on variety shows, but have no time to apologize to the humiliated social workers. It is really chilling.

Lin Chuyin denounced that in order to save the election, Jiang Wanan's campaign team first spread rumors that "the community has turned into a drug department store," and now even grassroots social workers have become victims of political attacks. As a representative of public opinion, Li Yanxiu actually confused the community of "social networking" among scholars in professional seminars with the community of "dancing and exercising every day" in his own superficial understanding. He even directly spread rumors about social workers' addiction treatment and harm reduction programs as "distributing drugs to drug addicts."

Lin Chuyin questioned that Li Yanxiu's ridiculous remarks and party member Cai Shujun publicly stated that they "disagree and do not support". Li Yanxiu is the spokesman for Jiang Wanan's campaign. Did Jiang Wanan authorize Li Yanxiu to give random answers without understanding the situation, pouring dirt on the tense election, and humiliating the frontline grassroots social workers in this way?

Lin Chuyin criticized Jiang Wanan for not apologizing for being "smeared" about social workers, and the Social Affairs Bureau in charge of social work operations also collectively kept silent, but had a completely different attitude when facing municipal inspections. In past child protection or related cases, Social Affairs Director Yao Shuwen was involved in the controversy of leaking personal information in order to protect Jiang Wanan. In order to preserve his political life and official position, he sacrificed the grassroots at will, and repeatedly cheated without being punished. Bureau heads should return to professionalism, discuss matters as they arise, and stand up to speak out for the stigmatized grassroots social workers. They should not become mere echo men who are eager to protect their clients and put politics above professionalism.

Lin Chuyin said that in the face of the condemnation gathered by grassroots social workers, Jiang Wanan "couldn't see or hear" and even used police to protect Li Yanxiu who made a gaffe. On the other hand, Jiang Wanan could apologize 8 times for a piece of sugar cane and now it is rumored that he has time to appear on variety shows, which is completely contemptuous of the grassroots. She appealed that divine blessing does not equal a guarantee of votes. If you do something wrong, you should be brave enough to admit it. You should immediately stop the irrational negative campaign and the tactics of deflecting municipal mistakes, and return to positive and rational elections.
